Mahmudullah kept his cool. He did this for many times. This team is complete now. We do not need any changes unless based on pitch you go with extra spiner or extra pacer. Mortoza's choice. If green pitch bring Rony and if slow pitch bring your choice of spinner. As India has a lot of left hander Nasir could come as a bowler not as a replacement of Mithun.
Mahmudullah is fast becoming one of the very best in the world.
Trust your Bangladesh you have neat and beat India
Nasir can be a much better choice than Mithun in the line up considering his all round ability.
I wonder how Ramiz Raja feels after Bangladesh victory. Just few months back he did not have much respect for BD players.
My only concern, tamim, he's got load full of talent, but responsibility is what's most needed of him...though he has the capabilIty of easily going 50 runs, in games like today, wherein target is quite within the reach, he should've come up and scored atleast 20 runs with a good strike rate, had that happened, pressure would've been realised from sabbir, who came up so early to bat on,,, Tamim show your fireworks against India, and let's see how India comes close to beating us...go tigers go,, the cup should be yours
I just hope the top 3 batsman can fire in the Final. Tamim, Soumya and Sabbir must up the game in first 7/8 overs. Mushi and Shakib to steady the middle and MahmudUllah to finish high. Go Tigers, play without fear, I know Indian batsman are superior, but you're no less than anyone. Just trust yourself, and have faith in your ability, In shaa Allah, you'll be victorious.
Well done my Bangladesh team. JOY BANGLA.
